Viticulture w/Expansion (Full Kickstarter Version)

Old-world Tuscany awaits your winemaking skill and strategic cunning. You’ll plant vines, harvest grapes, age wines, and fill merchant orders to create the greatest winery in Italy!

You find yourself in rustic, pre-modern Tuscany, where you’ve inherited a meager vineyard. You own a few plots of land, an old crush pad, a tiny cellar, 3 workers…and the dream of owning the best winery in Italy.

Your job is to allocate your workers and helpful visitors to complete various tasks throughout the year. Each season is different on a vineyard, so the workers have different tasks they can take care of in the summer and winter. There’s competition over those tasks, and often the first worker to arrive at each one has an advantage over the rest.

Using those workers and visitors, you can expand your vineyard by building structures, planting vines, and filling wine orders as you work towards the goal of owning the most successful winery in Tuscany.

The Viticulture: Arboriculture Expansion essentially doubles the complexity of the game and adds about fifteen minutes to the overall playing time. More specifically, it adds olive oil, apples, and tomatoes – all of which are harvested on the fields just like grapes – but the extra crops are processed on an extension to the vineyard mat. (Unlike the game board, worker actions are unencumbered by other players on the vineyard mat extension.)

Eighteen new "arbor" cards are also added to the game in their own deck, with these cards being drawn by using the "draw a vine card" action. These additions add value to the wine orders and can be used to improve worker morale. (The workers aren't happy that they have been given additional duties.)

Please note this version of the game is the full Kickstarter version.
